Hello everyone! I just found this app looking to see if there was a lap band magazine out there that I could subscribe to! An found y'all! I've been browsing around trying to figure were things are! I think this is very cool!! I just had my lap band surgery this past June so have lots of questions as I run in to the different things thru this new journey! So far I've lost a total of 60lbs since I started going to my clinic in February!

Not 60lbs since June! In June I had the surgery, but started going to the clinic in February and my insurance asked for 3 weigh ins before surgery so that's when I got in a diet! Lost 27lbs on my own and the rest was after surgery! I was 305lbs my very first weigh in and im at 245lbs up to now! My goal weight is 200lbs and thinking about staying there! So need 45lbs more to go, I'm 6ft tall so it should be good!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
